About This Class

MATLAB is one of the most important programming languages on Planet Earth. MATLAB is used in academic, industry, business, finance, and engineering.

Students use MATLAB for classes

Scientists use MATLAB for experiments and data analysis

Engineers use MATLAB for simulations

Physicists use MATLAB for numerical solvers

Financial analysts use MATLAB for prediction and forcasting

... and on and on.

MATLAB really is the language of technical computing.

If you want to learn MATLAB, then this is the course for you!

You will learn MATLAB programming from an experienced teacher, scientist, and writer (that's me!). I have written several books about MATLAB programming (look them up on amazon for reviews) and I have been teaching MATLAB programming and data analysis for almost two decades.

There are two attached files. One is a . m script, which you can open in MATLAB to follow along with the video material. Second is a pdf file that contains (1) the course reader, including important notes from the lecture material, (2) exercises that you can work on to improve your programming skills, and (3) my solutions to those exercises. Note that there are multiple solutions to the same problem, so as long as your solution works, it doesn’t matter if your code looks different from mine!

Officially I'm Dr. Michael X Cohen, but I prefer just "Mike" or "Mike X" or "the mysterious X." I'm a scientist because I believe that discovery and the drive to understand mysteries are among the most important drivers of progress in human civilization. And I believe in teaching because, well, because I really like teaching. I've been doing it my whole life. I teach "real-life" courses, online courses, university courses. I've written several books about neuroscience and data analysis, which...
